Aston Villa could be forced to pay a termination fee to Liverpool for Harvey Elliott as Fabrizio Romano brings his latest update on the situation.<\/p>\n
After spending over \u00a3400m in the summer, the Reds allowed Elliott to leave on loan to Aston Villa towards the end of the transfer window.<\/p>\n
Elliott has struggled to get into Unai Emery\u2019s side with the 22-year-old making just five appearances in all competitions, with two of those in the starting XI.<\/p>\n
The last time Elliott played for Aston Villa was back on October 2 in a Europa League match against Feyenoord with Emery\u2019s men going from strength to strength since.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa are currently in the Premier League title race and The Athletic reported over the weekend<\/a> that the Villans would have to pay a termination fee to cancel his deal and return him to Liverpool<\/a> as there is no recall clause.<\/p>\n The Athletic reported: \u2018As Elliott has already represented two clubs this season, he cannot play for another, so he either stays at Villa or returns to Anfield. He\u2019s not playing \u2013 or even making the squad \u2013 as manager Unai Emery believes other players in his position are fulfilling his specific tactical requirements more successfully.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Liverpool in \u2018comedy week\u2019 as \u00a330m star \u2018better\u2019 than Wirtz as Arsenal \u2018totally vilified\u2019, Man Utd lauded<\/a><\/p>\n \u2018Another layer of complexity is centred on the terms of the loan, which do not include a recall clause, so it\u2019s not as simple for Liverpool to bring him back and end the nightmare move. Villa will also have to pay to terminate the loan early.\u2019<\/p>\n Transfer expert Romano has provided his latest assessment of the situation with the Liverpool attacker \u201cnot expected to stay at Aston Villa\u201d.<\/p>\n Romano said on his\u00a0YouTube channel\u00a0about Elliott: \u201cAston Villa\u00a0decided to go for Harvey Elliott very last minute. It was on deadline day, but he\u2019s not playing. He\u2019s not playing, and so Liverpool are obviously not happy.<\/p>\n \u201cThe player is not happy, and Villa want to find a solution. So, Harvey Elliott is expected to return to Liverpool and then assess the situation, whether he\u2019s going to stay or find a new solution on loan.<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u201cSo, discussions will take place for the situation of Harvey Elliott. But, for sure, he\u2019s not expected to stay at Aston Villa, where he\u2019s not playing, where he\u2019s not an important player.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Unai Emery, from what I am told, is also quite happy with the attitude of the player in training.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just a technical and tactical decision, and so Harvey Elliott is expected to be back at Liverpool and then assess the situation with the club to understand what\u2019s going to be next for him.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, discussions expected very soon (between) Liverpool (and) Villa for Harvey Elliott.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked earlier this month about transfers and a decision regarding Elliott, Liverpool boss Arne Slot deflected:\u00a0\u201cMy first and only thoughts are on the upcoming games. Two difficult ones. It\u2019s a time for the players we have to roll their sleeves up and for the fans to help us to get the results we want. The available players and fans need to give everything they have.\u201d<\/p>\n Directly asked about Elliott, who\u2019s been linked with a potential return to Anfield from his loan at Aston Villa, Slot said:\u00a0\u201cHarvey is an Aston Villa player. He\u2019s supposed to be going there for the season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aston Villa could be forced to pay a termination fee to Liverpool for Harvey Elliott as Fabrizio Romano…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[13931,41873,8322,24663,3450,3,1084,403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-376500","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-aston-villa","9":"tag-fabrizio-romano","10":"tag-harvey-elliott","11":"tag-home-page","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-premier-league","15":"tag-soccer","16":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
